Example Setup

In this example, one retainage rule is set at the contract level. The calculation is based on two different percent completions on the contract. The control flag is set to blank to create retainage in A/R with no deferred taxes. The T and M line has no schedule of values.

This table shows how retainage rule E (Multi RETN Percentages on Completion) is set up in the Retainage Rules Table program (P5204):
